Karen Wang wants back in on the by-election race

After just one day after resigning from the Burnaby-South by-election, Liberal candidate Karen Wang is looking to rejoin the race. However if she does come back, it’s very unlikely it would be as a Liberal candidate after the Liberals declined her reinstatement request.

Wang resigned from the race yesterday after receiving a lot of public feedback for saying a racial statement regarding NDP leader, Jagmeet Singh.

Wang is set to make an announcement at the Burnaby Library at 1pm today.
